Just an observation – the cycle of hope and disillusionment you describe usually contains within each part, the other. So the Atomic Age had its hope, (atoms for peace, atomic gardens and such), and its disillusionment (movies like THEM, school atomic bomb drills etc) occurring at the same time. At any particular time, one may predominate, but the other is likely to be there in the background.

Thanks for this thoughtful piece.
